Eastchester With Kids: 25 Things to Do for Westchester Families

4/6/14 - By Danielle Feldman

Eastchester might be a small town, but when it comes to entertaining kids and families, this town has a lot to offer! Eastchester's roots date back to a group of ten families that migrated to the area back in 1664 from Fairfield, CT. Now home to over 33,000 residents (including the town's two villages, Tuckahoe and Bronxville), this year marks Eastchester's 350th anniversary!  

Eastchester and its villages offer award winning school districts, beautiful homes and apartment complexes and a town-owned country club, Lake Isle, a true gem and huge draw for many residents (including myself). Between its close proximity to NYC, stellar school districts, lovely tree lined streets, plus shops and restaurants galore, Eastchester has become a destination town in Westchester. In April, we will be highlighting the town of Eastchester, including its two villages, Bronxville and Tuckahoe. We'll take a look at the best places to eat, play and learn with kids in this charming town, starting with 25 fun things to do with kids in Eastchester.  

OUR LATEST VIDEOS

  1. Listen to a story, do arts and crafts or join a reading group at the libraries in Eastchester, Tuckahoe and Bronxville.  
  2. Go for a walk or bike ride along the beautiful and scenic Bronx River Parkway. In summer, enjoy cycling on the Parkway when its closed to traffic during Bicycle Sundays.
  3. Explore an ambulance and learn safety techniques from first responders at the annual Traffic & Safety Expo at Town Hall. 
  4. Practice your happy baby or downward dog pose at Yoga Haven in Tuckahoe--there are classes for kids and adults!
  5. Take the little ones to Little Stars for a haircut--let them choose between a plane, cab or car chair while the experts (skilled in servicing even difficult young patrons) work their magic. 
  6. Indulge in huge, delicious slices at Crestwood Pizzeria.
  7. Choose from ballet, hip-hop and more at Studio B Dance Center, where kids as young as 2 can take class. 
  8. Spend the day shopping at Vernon Hills shopping center, where you'll find what you need for the whole family.
  9. Check out Town Hall's free summer concert series on Wednesday nights! Family fun, music and dancing make these summer nights truly unforgettable. Bring a blanket or some lawn chairs and enjoy.
  10. Take a stroll down Pondfield Road in Bronxville, lined with boutique shops and flavorful restaurants, in the heart of the village. 
  11. Indulge in traditional pastries, pies, cannoli's and more at Teresa's Bakery & Café. Yum!

  13. Stop by Lake Isle’s annual Columbus Day Carnival and parade for fun, exciting games, rides, delicious Italian food and fireworks!

  15. Join in on the fun at Town Hall’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt! Kids fill their baskets with goodies, and meet and have their picture taken with the Easter bunny!
